Blair Richard Walsh (born January 8, 1990) is an American former football placekicker who played in the National Football League (NFL) for six seasons, primarily with the Minnesota Vikings. Walsh played college football for the Georgia Bulldogs and was selected by the Vikings in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL draft.
In his first year, Walsh set the NFL records for the most single-season field goals of 50 or more yards and the highest field goal percentage by a rookie. He also earned Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro honors. However, after missing a short game-winning kick during the 2015 playoffs, Walsh struggled the following season and was released from Minnesota. Walsh spent his last season with the Seattle Seahawks.
